While on the subject of Thriller, if we want to assume there's no compressors used at all (I'm ok with that)...

What about the musicians that performed on the album, their level of ability, how consistently they could play an instrument and/or sing into a mic. Plus how their instruments sounded, how they were chosen for their sound and dialed in. Plus what mics and preamps were chosen (which probably ended up compressing the sound a bit).

And then, recorded to tape...and probably compressed in the process.
